The 13 Curses

The Thirteen Treasures have become the Thirteen Curses. When fairies stole her brother, Red vowed to get him back. Now trapped in the fairy realm, she begs an audience with the fairy court where she strikes a bargain. Her brother will be returned – but only if she can find the thirteen charms of Tanya’s bracelet that have been scattered in the human world. Returning to Elvesden Manor, Red is assisted by Tanya and Fabian and a desperate hunt begins. Soon they make a shocking discovery. The charms now have twisted qualities of the thirteen treasures they represent…and the longer they are missing the worse the consequences will be. Can Red, Tanya and Fabian find all the charms? And even if they do, will the fairies keep their promise?

I’ve been writing short stories since I was a teenager but had it in my head that I would write a novel one day. I began writing The Thirteen Treasures in my first year of university after being shown work by fairy artists and children’s illustrators by my tutor. It was at this point I knew I wanted to write about a girl who is persecuted by malicious fairies. I researched fairy legend and folklore, learning about the beliefs people used to hold about protection from fairies, and of the mysterious thirteen treasures. Many of the ideas developed as I was writing the story, although I had a rough idea of the beginning and the ending when I started.
